Suparna Mehra of True Essence
Inc. has anew answer to ques-
tions t treatments for back
.... pain. &apos; ' :''
The answer is the Chi (energy)
massage bed. A development in
Korean technology, Mehra says,
the bed uses thermal acupressure
to relieve back pain and symp-
toms of diabetes, cancer and
arthritis.
Mehra purchased the bed sever-
al months ago for personal use af-
ter injuring her back. But she
says more clients are asking for
the pain relief, convincing her to
use the bed in her business
Mehra hopes the massage bed
will be an attractive alternative to
traditional massage for pain treat-
ment. A 45-minute session costs
$25 as opposed to $70, the aver-
age price of a massage, she says.
"My aim is to make this afford-
able," says Mehra. "I'11 do what-
ever it takes."
Jade rollers heated by electric
currents roll up and down the
client's spine three times. Next,
they stop at major pressure points
for two minutes. In addition,
heated-jade handsets may also be
used.
"You have the feeling someone
ironed out your spine," Mehra
says.
Heat increases blood circula-
tion, and this leaves many clients
feeling more energized than
drowsy, which she says is one
way the Chi bed differs from a
normal massage.
For Mehra, blood circulation is
the key to good health and relax-
ation. The massage bed is de-
signed to heal the body by target-
ing blood flow, not specific or-
gans or joints, she said.
Mehra says improved circula-
tion "decreases blockage in the
extremities resulting from dia-
betes or joint swelling from
to cells of cancer patients. She
says improved blood circulation
is essential to keeping the body
free of toxins and functioning
well. "All the crud is carried
down the drain if the circulation is
quick," she said.
Two regular clients, Pam Baker
and Diane Dixson, came from
Falls Church, Va., to pick up an
aromatherapy order. "This
woman is fabulous," says Baker
as she tested out the massage bed. way One-Suite 51, Rehoboth
